mgbooyv8 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi Richard, Propeller and gills look very good! Yes, Geoff's build is outstanding and a fountain of knowledge and information.

R Palimaka Posted December 7, 2016 Author Share Posted December 7, 2016 Yes Peter, Geoff's build is a great resource, but I have your build bookmarked as something to aim for. LSP is such a great place to find inspiration and ideas. mgbooyv8, Shaka HI and Martinnfb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 (edited) I put the decals on the prop and spinner. The self-printed tiger stripes were a bit of a fight. The black decals were rather translucent, so I had to double them up to get a proper black ( I printed many extras...). Also, as I was sealing them with Future, some of the black bled out in the wet Future onto the yellow, requiring some clean-up. Another lesson learned. The whole assembly just needs some touch-ups, and a satin coat. So now that I have the prop done, the only thing left is...everything aft of that. :-) Edited August 6, 2017 by R Palimaka BradG, Hubert Boillot, TaffyMan and 11 others 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R Palimaka Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thank you Harvey! Yes, a bit of cleaning up to do but I'm happy so far. Martinnfb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP is such a great place to find inspiration and ideas. Hi Richard, You´re too kind! Your propeller is looking very good! The printed spiral decals really look the part! As you found out, inktjet ink is water soluble and does not go well with Klear or Future. The best way to seal the prints is using enamel clear lacquer. I use Revell clear gloss for this purpose, but any brand will do. Cheers, Peter R Palimaka and Martinnfb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted December 8, 2016 Author Share Posted December 8, 2016 Thank you Peter. Your suggestion about a clear lacquer makes absolute sense now, and I will use it for the other decals I printed. Fortunately it wasn't too hard to clean up.

mgbooyv8 Posted December 8, 2016 Share Posted December 8, 2016 Good to read it was easy to clean up. Good luck with the other decals! Cheers, Peter Martinnfb and R Palimaka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Dog Flying Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 Looking good Richard..just remember that those blades were Flat Black. The Alclad Clear finiches are superb. Barney Martinnfb and R Palimaka 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
